Agent for controlling noxious arthropods

Abstract

An agent for controlling noxious arthropods has an exceptional noxious arthropod controlling effect, said agent containing an amide compound represented by Formula (I) and an inactive carrier. In formula (I), R 2 represents a C1-C3 chain hydrocarbon group, etc., R 5 and R 6 represent a hydrogen atom, etc., R 9 represents a C1-C4 alkyl group, etc., R 10 represents a C1-C4 alkyl group or hydrogen atom, etc., R 11 and R 12 each independently represent a C1-C4 alkyl group, etc., and Y represents a single bond, an oxygen atom, or S(O) u ; when Y is a single bond, m represents 0, and Q represents a C1-C8 chain hydrocarbon group, etc.; and when Y is an oxygen atom or S(O) u , m represents any integer of 0 to 7, Q represents a C1-C8 chain hydrocarbon group, etc., a and b represent 0, 1, 2, or 3 (the sum of a and b representing any integer of 1 to 6), and u represents 0, 1, or 2.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. An agent for controlling harmful arthropods, the agent comprising an inert carrier and an amide compound represented by formula (I): 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       wherein:
 R 2  represents a C1-C3 chain hydrocarbon group optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from a group consisting of hydroxy group and halogen atom, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a cyano group and a formyl group, 
 R 9  represents a C1-C4 alkyl group optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms or a C1-C4 alkoxy group optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, 
 R 10  represents a C1-C4 alkyl group optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, a C1-C4 alkoxy group optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, or a hydrogen atom, 
 R 11  represents a C1-C4 alkyl group optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, a C1-C4 alkoxy group optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, or a hydrogen atom, 
 R 12  represents a C1-C4 alkyl group optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, a C1-C4 alkoxy group optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, or a hydrogen atom, 
 Y represents a single bond, 
 m is 0, and Q represents a 1-propyl, 1-butyl, 1-pentyl, 1-hexyl, 1-heptyl, or 1-octyl group, 
 each of a and b is 0, 1, 2, or 3, provided that the sum of a and b represents any one of an integer of 1 to 6.
